"Come all without, come all within, you'll not see nothing like The Mighty Quinn. - Bob Dylan The Mighty Quinn or a mediocre Quinn?

Another great quarterback named Brady or just another kid from the Brady Bunch?

Another world-class quarterback out of Notre Dame (Joe Montana) or another Fighting Irish bust (Rick Mirer)?

Well, I guess we'll all see, Bob, and Josh.

But wouldn't it be lovely if Brady Quinn became a star quarterback, someday took the Broncos to the AFC championship in Cleveland, orchestrated a 98-yard touchdown drive in the final seconds of regulation for the tie, then directed an overtime victory?

Coach Josh McDaniels was asked by The Post the other day if Kyle Orton still was the Broncos' No. 1 quarterback after the acquisition of Quinn.

"Yep. No question," he replied.

What did you expect the coach to say? "Nope. Quinn's our main man. Orton drops to No. 2."

It's March, and neither the O or the Q has thrown a pass in anger - or minicamp. Ask Mac again in August, November or 2011 (when Orton becomes an unrestricted free agent).

Yep, there is a question about Quinn and Orton.

Quinn will become the Broncos' fifth quarterback who played at Notre Dame. Frank Tripucka was the first (42 starts beginning with the team's inaugural game in 1960. The others were Steve Beuerlein (five starts), Jarious Jackson (one) and Ken Karcher (three replacement player games). Karcher played one game at Notre Dame before transferring to Tulane."
